said, "None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the
morning," which did not apply to later times; in Egypt it was slain
by every one in his own house, while afterwards it was slain by all
Israel in one place; lastly, formerly where they ate the Passover,
there they lodged, but afterwards they might eat it in one, and
lodge in another place. 1 I Cor. v. 7, 8. l Ex. xxxiv. 18-20; Deut.

kept the second year after the Exodus,2 and then not again till the
Israelites actually reached the promised land;3 but, as the Jewish
commentators rightly observe, this intermission was directed by God
Himself.4 After that, public celebrations of the Passover are only
mentioned once during the reign of Solomon,5 again under that of
Hezekiah,6 at the time' of Josiah,7 and once more after the return
from Babylon under Ezra.8 On the other hand, a most significant
allusion to the typical meaning of the Passover-blood, as securing
immunity from destruction, occurs in the prophecies of Ezekiel,9
where "the man clothed with linen " is directed to " set a mark
upon the foreheads" of the godly (like the first Passover-mark), so
that they who were to "slay utterly old and young" might not "come
near any" of them. The same symbolic reference and command occur in
the book of Revelation,1 in regard to those who have been "sealed
as the servants of our God in their foreheads." 1 Tot. Pts. vin.
